    When To Transplant Delosperma bosserabum Seedlings

    Something like this would work, if it wasn't too flimsy. I think a 10cm pot is larger than you need - here's a picture of a mature $15 specimen on eBay:

    When To Transplant Delosperma bosserabum Seedlings

    You can pick up used plastic pots at Bunnings and other nurseries: often the rectangular seedling punnets, and sometimes even the bulk trays they fit into, both of which I find useful for this kind of job. The important thing is not to shock them into a low-humidity environment.

    The broken-off branch is a different species, it's blocking the view of where the slender curved branch continues into the earth.

    Note phyllodes in lower left-hand corner of frame. This was the very first specimen I saw there.

    Legalisation of kratom

    In recent years the WHO and FDA both determined that Kratom was not a drug of concern. So that's encouraging. There have been copious studies on Kratom's (relative) safety since the TGA scheduled it as a poison in 2003. Not to mention, a synthetic opioid epidemic. I think it's only one of two active alkaloids, mitragynine, that's included in the poisons schedule.

    RDT for AU gov?

    How would the drug testing regime be enforced, i.e. what penalty? I can only imagine the scandal of a female MP being tested positive for alcohol - versus her male counterparts like Barnaby Joyce, whose approval rating is still being shored up by a protectionist mainstream media. I'm not sure what the parliamentary rulebook says about drunkenness or illicit drug-taking. But there'd be no point in testing if there weren't any consequences. Furnishing Kirrabilly House with one of the world's best-stocked wine cellars probably doesn't help, or set a good example. On the PM's salary, he/she/it can afford to buy their own.

    After a few plants in Perth

    I'd appreciate the Gumtree link, a few Perth people I know would be interested.
